How slope works on this model
The PRO L5 uses Adaptive Slope.
The laser first measures the direct line-of-sight distance. The slope system then uses elevation information to estimate a playing distance.
Uphill shots generally receive a longer adjusted distance than the direct reading; downhill shots generally receive a shorter adjusted distance.
Adaptive Slope is Shot Scope’s compensated-distance system for uphill and downhill gradient.
Official model-specific slope controls
Slide the slope indicator switch on the side of the rangefinder forwards or backwards to turn slope on or off.
Slope is active when green is visible on the switch; slope is off when green is not visible.
When slope is enabled, the slope-adjusted distance is shown at the bottom of the display.
Adaptive Slope provides a compensated distance based on the uphill or downhill gradient.
Tournament use
The PRO L5 is listed as tournament legal when slope compensation is disabled. Confirm the non-slope setting before the first tee.
Slope troubleshooting
Slope-adjusted distance is missing
Check the side slope switch. Green visible means slope is active. Then range a target with a noticeable elevation change.
Need tournament mode
Move the switch so green is not visible. Shot Scope states the PRO L5 is legal for tournament play when slope is disabled.
Distance appears but no adjusted value
The normal distance can still appear with slope off. The slope-adjusted distance is shown at the bottom of the display when slope is enabled.
Slope-adjusted distance is not appearing
Confirm slope is enabled using On/Off, then re-range a target with a clear elevation change.
Using slope correctly
Shot Scope PRO L5 slope FAQ
Does the Shot Scope PRO L5 have slope?
Yes. It is listed with Adaptive Slope.
How do I know slope is on on the Shot Scope PRO L5?
Green is visible on the side slope switch when slope is active; green is hidden when slope is off.
Where does the PRO L5 show slope-adjusted distance?
Shot Scope states that the adjusted distance appears at the bottom of the display when slope is enabled.
How is slope controlled on the Shot Scope PRO L5?
This model has an on/off slope control.
Is the Shot Scope PRO L5 tournament legal?
The PRO L5 is listed as tournament legal when slope compensation is disabled. Confirm the non-slope setting before the first tee.
What does slope do on the Shot Scope PRO L5?
It combines direct laser distance with elevation information to estimate an adjusted playing distance.
Why can adjusted distance differ from direct distance?
Direct distance is the line-of-sight measurement. The adjusted value estimates how the elevation change alters the effective playing distance.
Competition and Local Rules take priority. Model revisions can also change controls or indicators. Confirm the exact non-slope configuration on the official Shot Scope website or manual before competitive play. Visit Shot Scope.
